I wish my employer would give me access to their Verilog, just to see what production-grade Verilog looks like

at the time, we really buried this paragraph, but it's in there:
Highlighted text:

"While outside the scope of
this paper, we wish to be clear that vulnerabilities in such
services are not purely theoretical. We have developed the
ability to remotely compromise key ECUs in our car via
externally-facing vulnerabilities, amplify the impact of these
remote compromises using the results in this paper, and
ultimately monitor and control our car remotely over the
Internet."

Do you want to tinker with a Redbox machine? We are imminently moving and need three of them to not be in our garage because we won't have room for all of them. Free. You'll need a truck. Please come adopt one. Must go by September 13th or will be recycled. Located near Bellevue, WA.

What's stopping someone from surreptitiously using their phone cameras? At least these have recording LEDs that are supposedly tamper resistant. Phones don't.

What if you show up with only those glasses? They haven't widely publicized this change in policy. Glass came out in 2013. Snapchat Spectacles came out in 2016. They've had 10-13 years to implement this, but it seems like they're doing so in a haphazard way this year.

This also might fall afoul of the ADA if you can't make a "reasonable accommodation" of allowing glasses with stickers over the cameras

I don't see anything in the photo policy that actually says this? It just says taking photos without consent is prohibited. If you want to implement this rule, then do it properly. The photo policy was last updated 1/8/23. (and your site seems to block access from 128.77.0.0/17??)

Okay RF nerds, what am I looking at here? In particular, what's with the giant honking 50 ohm (and 150 ohm) resistors? This is supposedly a 3 stage UHF linear amplifier. But what does the orange wire do?? What's with the "stud diodes?"

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.
Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.  

The law is clear.  Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. 

And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.

The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. 

It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.

When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong.  It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media.  And we can’t allow that to happen.

Time for change!

Trump "Truth":

Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP
